Today, Microsoft shuttered Skype. The 22 year old telecommunications program is survived by its many successors, including the detestable Microsoft Teams. Skype was first released in 2003, and was sold three times over the next decade: first to eBay, then to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, before finally entering the Microsoft family of products…
A new Ecco the Dolphin game is in the works, and a countdown website is now ticking down to what I can only assume will be an official reveal when it hits the zero mark—which will happen in a little over 8,500 hours. Okay, so 8,500 hours: That doesn’t sound like all that long a…
Vampire survival action game V Rising is having a pretty dang good couple of weeks, posting Steam numbers it hasn’t seen since launch after a major update added a new region last Monday.

In it you build up little medieval town-fortresses and use that economic engine to defend them from copious hordes of attacking fantasy invaders. You also vaporize the invaders with laser…
“Something stirs beneath the surface”. Move over, Gears of War — Ecco the Dolphin is finally getting a remaster. And not only the first game, but the sequel, Tides of Time, is also getting the remaster treatment. Oh, and to top things off, a “new, third game” is also in the works, series creator Ed…
I spent six years as a delivery guy in a profoundly depressed area, so I’m receptive when a game like Easy Delivery Co. appeals to the universal human yearning to drive packages around in a place that sucks. It’s a driving game with PS1-esque graphics, a soundtrack of laidback beats, and a bleak mountainside setting…
